Alajuela villa Rental Property Information

Our home in Atenas, is Bali-style - all wood and glass - perched on a ridge above the jungle with magnificent views of multiple mountain ranges. The house is filled with furniture and artifacts collected on our extensive travels. We've designed it to be a relaxing, zen-feeling retreat. It has 2 bedrooms/2.5 open-air bathrooms, a wrap-around infinity pool (great for doing short laps), and lovely decks and tropical gardens. From the breakfast deck you look out over jungle and mountain ranges and into the favorite toucan watching trees. The master-bedroom deck overhangs the jungle where we have seen mot-mots, trogans, carablanca monkeys and sloths. The sunset deck borders the pool and is perfect for evening cocktails and dining. Atenas is 45 minutes from the San Jose airport and within 1 or 2 hours of our house we have beaches, volcanoes, rain forests, several interesting cities, incredible plant nurseries and nature preserves. We're a perfect location for your Costa Rican vacation.

The house is on a hill-top 2 kilometres from Atenas, an agricultural town (lots of coffee plantations and orchid farms) of about 20, 000 people. We have several good restaurants, supermarkets, banks, shops and all the other amenities you will need. From our house you can take long walks on country roads and trails. From the deck we have seen many fabulous birds including the toucans that visit mornings and evenings. In the rainy season (it generally just rains in the afternoons) - we have heard howler monkeys; we've seen a sloth just hanging out in the trees below us, white-faced monkeys in the jungle next to the bedroom deck, and an anteater on our morning walk. San Jose (and its upscale suburb of Escazu), just 45 minutes away, is a sophisticated area of fabulous restaurants and boutiques, museums, English language bookstores and movies, and all the culture you could possibly want. We're located in the center of the country, so access to the rest of Costa Rica is easy.
